645. It Seems Like Now Isn’t the Time to Fight. (1)
==========
At least one silver lining was that this time, at the very least, there wasn’t any internal chaos breaking out within the Tenant Union Army.
However, apart from that, the situation remained a complete mess in every possible way.

Title: Breaking News) The Current Situation in the Central Zone is Rapidly Evolving

The current situation is as follows:
As soon as the battle between the Tenant Union Army and the Attila Clan entered a lull, the Blizzard Clan began its descent.
Meanwhile, seeing the Blizzard Clan’s movements, the Central Base Alliance also reacted,
and now they are concentrating their forces on the gateway base they’ve taken, Brandenburg.
Other mid-sized clans near Icarus and the Attila Clan have also begun to move once they realized the situation has shifted.
Comments:
-[Wow]
-[Suddenly, things just got bigger]
-[Is this turning into a World War in the Central Zone?]
-[Haha, they’re all getting burned]
-[Ah, so Rasputin’s joke about a draw earlier was actually some deep strategy]
-[…Isn’t that conclusion too quick, Geigei?]
-[<Calculating···!con.jpg>]
—————————————–
Shortly after the real-time updates of the Central Zone’s status spread across the gallery thanks to News Boy, who acted as an unofficial news outlet,
we could see Rasputin—who had been making desperate jokes about a draw—suddenly switch to a far more confident attitude and start cracking similar jokes again, as if nothing had happened.

<Notice: No unnecessary chatter>
-[Look at this]
-[If we fight, only the surrounding factions benefit]
-[So, let’s call it a draw and end this nicely, shall we?](Rasputin)
-[Okay](Icarus)

Of course, even with his brain working at 150%, no matter how much he analyzed the situation, it wasn’t appropriate for someone from the Attila Clan to say such things in a situation like this…
“Jessica, go fetch the sewing machine.”
“Yes, Commander.”
As soon as I heard those words, I quickly brought over the sewing machine and placed it above the mercenary recruitment button.

Okay,
We’ve got plenty of resources, and our warehouse capacity has increased.
Comments:
-[Holy cr*p, the warehouse expansion sounds like horror material]
-[What does that mean?]
-[This guy, Icarus, used to consume insane amounts of resources every time he hired mercenaries and could barely last 3-4 days]
-[But now that the resource warehouse has expanded significantly, it means the sustainability period has also increased drastically]
-[Holy cr*p haha, I thought holding out for three days would be enough, but suddenly the warehouse expansion appears]
-[Oh, must’ve gotten additional buildings from Wormhole Exploration]
-[Alright, here comes the Truth Mercenary Corps]
-[Ok, Truth Mercenary Corps]

After posting this on the gallery to warn against idle chatter from the Attila Clan,
it seemed the warning had an unexpectedly effective impact.
A short while later…
—————————————–
<Icarus Coalition - Attila Clan Negotiation Room>
<Notice: No unnecessary chatter>
<Rasputin has left the room>
<Skiyakiya has entered the room>
-[Rasputin has stepped down from the position of clan leader due to responsibility for this incident]
-[From now on, I am the clan leader](Skiyakiya)
-[Ah](Hasegi)
-[Haha? So, how does this affect negotiations?](Chocolate Pasta)
-[We’ll surrender, but please show mercy since we were the ones who started this](Skiyakiya)
-[Finally, someone reasonable joins the conversation](Icarus)

<Battle Result: Victory>
<The Attila Clan has requested surrender to Commander!>
<Do you accept?>
<Y/N>

—————————————–
Simultaneously witnessing the rare sight of a clan leader being purged from their own clan in real-time, alongside the lightning-fast surrender request,
while I was indeed somewhat irritated, it wasn’t as though I could crush the Attila Clan completely within just a few days either.
Thinking along the lines of Rasputin’s words—now buried under a drum can—that further fighting wouldn’t yield any benefits, I nodded in agreement and decided to accept the surrender.
Of course, before doing so…
—————————————–
<Icarus Coalition - Attila Clan Negotiation Room>
<Notice: No unnecessary chatter>
-[So, who supports this?](Ddeokboki)
-[Are you serious? You guys attacked us one-sidedly, and now you think you can surrender because you’re afraid of retaliation elsewhere?](Chen)
-[Agreed]
-[If you’re going to say that, you should at least put forth a fair compensation before setting the surrender conditions via the system](Tetrapod)
-[Hmm, not entirely wrong…](Wyriddy)
-[What do you suggest, Icarus?](Vermouth)
—————————————–
Because of the unilateral bombardment, bases and strongholds suffered significant damage.
In the fleet battles, Chen (the village chief of Howling Stronghold) and Tetrapod (the village chief of New VegaBound Stronghold), representatives of the victims who had recklessly charged forward, stood up.
Before accepting the Attila Clan’s terms, we first needed to consider and reconcile the opinions of other skeptical village chiefs.

After various adjustments were made…

<Icarus Coalition - Attila Clan Negotiation Room>
<Notice: No unnecessary chatter>
-[Will you negotiate or not?](Venom)
-[Ha! Of course, we will! Properly!](Skiyakiya)
-[Wow, another old-timer meme user spotted](Chicken Ddukboki)
-[We’ll see after the negotiation ends, my friend](Venom)
-[Ah](Chicken Ddukboki)
-[Then, let’s finalize the rest according to the negotiation terms, and we’ll just handle the surrender system casually. Okay?](Icarus)
-[Thank you](Skiyakiya)
—————————————–
Though one overly assertive village chief ended up getting reprimanded by a senior village chief during the process,
anyway, in summary, the users of Howling and New VegaBound, who suffered the most damage, received gacha ships as war reparations from the Attila Clan.
Others received resources and gold as compensation, and those unable to pay in full contributed their own ships instead.
Of course, amidst all this, some users still felt we should’ve pushed harder and extracted more.

Title: Icarus Coalition and Attila Clan Conducted Negotiations
Writer: Anonymous
Content: [Summary of negotiation content, partially redacted.jpg]
Seems like it ended amicably.
Users who suffered heavy damages managed to extract gacha ships, and others settled for resources or gold.
Apparently, Icarus, who had the authority to sign the surrender agreement, only took the bare minimum and ended it.
Comments:
-[This isn’t the Treaty of Versailles, huh]
-[Feels kind of boring]
-[Sigh, no satisfaction here]
-[Not sure if Icarus is generous or just a pushover]
—————————————–
Such thoughts weren’t limited to the gallery; users wondered why ‘I’ hadn’t pressed harder against the Attila Clan.
But despite these reactions, I couldn’t help but think, “Do I really need to grit my teeth and destroy them?”
